I suppose that the queers, confused boy-girls, minorities and muslims get preference these days, while white guys are shown the door. Diversity wins wars, you know.......
Not news. The services always had a high rejection rate during drawdowns. The statement about higher standards is bogus though. They lowered the entry score for the USAF a few years ago.
The specialized fields have always been hard to fill.
Active Duty ping.
Nah, the diversity ratio still mirrors the rest of the US.
Lets see... 36,000 released illegal invaders with criminal records... NO PROBLEM. Sign on up. Knob gobblers... NO PROBLEM. Transgendered mutilated queers??? NO PROBLEM. Cross dressing lesbians? No problem. Uncle Obama want’s YOU!!! Sign on up and take responsibility for defending a country you hate. What can go wrong???
Haven’t seen those groups yet even though I have seen a cross dressing doctor on base. He is not military but treats the military.
I work with these recruits every day - if this is the highest quality in 40 years, then I've been asleep for the 39 years I've either worn the uniform (1974-1998) or worked a a civilian in training (1999-present).
“With the ongoing Baraqqi Depression, the military is one of the few options available for young folks.”
No doubt; they are the “employer of last resort” for many, providing three hots and a cot.
Circle yer wagons troop . Stay Safe !
They still make Victoria Green?
Are you thinking of “Green Reaper IPA”?
There are several small breweries, and brew pubs around here. I’ve lost track of how many different brews. Most are great — some are acquired tastes.
That's not what the local Navy recruiter told me not too long ago. What he described was indeed "a zero defect mentality." A kid with any kind of black mark on his record wasn't even going to be considered.
